Cheesy Beef and Pasta Bake

Instructions:

  1. Cook the pasta: In a large pot, cook pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the beef: In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add sauce and seasoning: Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to combine flavors.
  4. Combine and bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large baking dish, mix the cooked pasta with the beef and tomato sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.

Enjoy this comforting and hearty meal with a side of salad or garlic bread!
